Sometimes police are unreasonable. Sometimes police are dishonest. I believe they need quotas, so the dream up trivial things to book people.
The fact that the officer wasted 15 minutes of his time and didn't even write the OP up kinda blows this theory out of the water.

Really, other than to meet the exact letter of the law, what IS the point of citing cyclists. If the same "letter of the law" approach is taken toward motorists, stop every speeder. Ain't gonna happen.
Enough with the anti-bike campaigns by LEOs.
Never mind wasting officer time attempting to cite all the speeders. Automated systems could do it much more efficiently, making our streets safer for all and balance local budgets to boot. Hey, just doing my part to help make it to 6 pages here!
